Applicant Profile
Largest lime and chemical limestone company in North America
Expansion will allow unit train traffic so the applicant can provide aggregate and lime to customers in other states.
Historically aggregate was delivered in relatively close distances from the quarry by truck and single railcar traffic.
Increased rail capacity will reduce the number of trucks serving the plant for long hauled stone.
The project would establish a second railroad connection, providing dual access to the facility via Winchester & Western Railroad or CSX Transportation.
